Lilian Garcia-Roig’s large-scale, on-site painting installations overwhelm the viewer’s sense. Each individual part was painted by the artist outdoors in from of the scene, a technique often called en plein air, over the course of a day. Garcia-Roig, who was a resident artist at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1990, returns to Maine for Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago and for this special conversation with PMA Associate Curator of Contemporary Art Jaime DeSimone.

ArtWord: Poetry Night

ArtWord: Poetry Night

Part of PMA360

If you have a love for language and a passion for the arts, then the PMA’s Poetry Night—in which the worlds of poetry and visual art intersect in surprising, energetic ways—are perfect for you. On this evening, 25 Maine poets will read their poems based on work in the PMA collection—first downstairs in the auditorium starting at 5:45 p.m., then in the galleries next to the artwork that inspired them. Also, create your own erasure poetry using PMA gallery labels.
